Patent number: 10371033Abstract: A diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) tank for an off-road vehicle including a retaining bar configured to support the DEF tank and a channel molded into a side of the DEF tank. The channel is configured to interface with the retaining rod. The DEF tank further including a cutout formed within the channel, wherein the cutout establishes a gap between the retaining bar and a body of the DEF tank. The DEF tank also includes a drain channel molded into an exterior surface of the DEF tank. The drain channel is configured to provide structural support to the DEF tank, and the gap is configured to enable DEF flow downwardly into the drain channel without contacting the retaining bar.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2017Date of Patent: August 6, 2019Assignee: CNH Industrial America LLCInventors: Timothy Ralph Hertsgaard, Jason Keith Novacek, David Donald Blomberg, John Thomas Rasset, Erik Andrew Larson, Paul Eugene Wibbels, Daniel LaRoy Hinz, Jay Michael Larson, David Larry Tveito, David Edward Susag, Russell Victor Stoltman, Chad Alry Bautz, Nathaniel James Keller, David Sheldon Booth

Patent number: 9869229Abstract: A system includes a mounting assembly for a muffler of an off-road vehicle including a first mounting pad rotatably coupled to a first support. The first mounting pad is configured to rotate in a first direction and in a second direction, opposite the first direction, about a first rotation axis. The mounting assembly also includes a second mounting pad rotatably coupled to a second support. The second mounting pad is configured to rotate in the first direction and in the second direction about a second rotation axis. Moreover, the first and second mounting pads are laterally offset from one another relative to a longitudinal axis of the muffler, the first and second mounting pads are configured to support the muffler, and the first and second mounting pads are configured to independently rotate relative to the respective supports about the respective rotation axes.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2015Date of Patent: January 16, 2018Assignee: CNH Industrial America LLCInventors: Jason Keith Novacek, John Thomas Rasset, Christopher Hintz, Jonathan Weigel, Nathaniel James Keller, James Patrick Boeshans, Jason Weyer, Nathan Carlson, David Larry Tveito, Parker Dan Snow, Chad Bautz, Jacob Eugene Fink

Patent number: 8967319Abstract: A horizontal muffler for an agricultural vehicle is provided. One agricultural vehicle includes an exhaust system having a muffler configured to direct exhaust out of an engine and to reduce a noise of the exhaust. The agricultural vehicle also includes a steering wheel configured to control steering of the agricultural vehicle. The muffler is disposed forward of the steering wheel relative to a direction of travel of the agricultural vehicle. Moreover, the muffler extends in a substantially horizontal direction such that a flow of the exhaust through the muffler is substantially parallel to a ground surface.Type: GrantFiled: November 5, 2012Date of Patent: March 3, 2015Assignee: CNH Industrial America LLCInventors: Jason Keith Novacek, Daniel John Zurn, Keith James Ward, Jay Michael Larson, David Larry Tveito, Russell Victor Stoltman

Patent number: 8807633Abstract: A suspension system for a cab of an off-road vehicle includes a superstructure configured to receive a cab frame. The superstructure forms a framework, the corners of which receive suspension assemblies and dampers. The suspension assemblies include one or more springs or resilient elements to resist suspension motion, and the dampers provide dampening of the motion. Lateral and longitudinal suspension motions are resisted by links between the corners of the superstructure. An anti-roll bar reduces roll. The entire suspension system may be pre-assembled and then joined to the vehicle chassis frame. The cab frame may then be placed on the suspension system. Parts of the suspension system may interface with and be housed by roll-over protective structures.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2012Date of Patent: August 19, 2014Assignee: CNH Industrial America LLCInventors: Rowland James Milburn, Michael Bakken, Salvatore Virgilio, David Larry Tveito, David Sheldon Booth, John Thomas Rasset, Jason Keith Novacek, Dallas Lee Jorgenson, Chad Alry Bautz, Michael Bunnell, Shane Michael Scott, Daniel John Zurn, Russell Stoltman
